ANU Open Access Policy
• The University's Open Access Policy contains a commitment to the dissemination of research findings as essential both to:
differentiate the University's research excellence and
support national and international research excellence.
This procedure sets out information for researchers to understand how this commitment is fulfilled.
ARC & NHMRC – • ARC: from 1 January 2013, Any publications arising from an ARC
supported research Project must be deposited into an open access institutional repository within a twelve (12) month period from the date of publication. http://www.arc.gov.au/arc-open-access-policy
• NHMRC: from 1 July 2012 NHMRC requires that any publication arising from NHMRC supported research must be deposited into an open access institutional repository and/or made available in another open access format within a twelve month period from the date of publication.

Benefits of open access• Delivers a worldwide audience larger than any subscription-based journal,
regardless of its prestige or popularity.• Demonstrably increases the visibility of your research. Publishing in the
University's repository also sends data to Google Scholar, Trove and other discovery services.
• Significantly increases the impact of an authors' work, thereby creating potential for a higher number of citations. The impact of your research can be seen through the University repository's statistics as well as citation tools including the Altmetric donut.
• Helps researchers satisfy the requirements of funding bodies, such as the Australian Research Council (ARC) and the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).
• Enables researchers to manage and promote their publications.• Provides a persistent web address for each article that can be used for citation• Ensures the ongoing preservation of a digital copy of your thesis.
Real impact….
The Post-Embargo Open Access Citation Advantage: It Exists (Probably), It’s Modest (Usually), and the Rich Get Richer (of Course) http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0159614• open access citation advantage as high as 19%
Research impact of paywalled versus open access papers http://www.1science.com/oanumbr.html • On average, open access papers produce a 50% higher
research impact than strictly paywalled papers. (study of 3.3. million papers)

• “… one of the most memorable courses of my whole degree.”• “I loved [this course] and have already recommended it to my first-
year friends.”• “One of the most interesting and influential courses I have taken in
my degree.”• “This was the best course I have taken so far during my time at
university, not only for the academic/scientific knowledge I gained, but for the invaluable lessons regarding the importance of team work and interpersonal relationships.” (Anonymous student feedback).

Digital as pedagogy
Impact studies
• adoption of no-cost open digital textbooks significantly predicted students’ completion of courses, class achievement, and enrolment intensity
• Virginia State University School of Business students using open textbooks “tended to have higher grades and lower failing and withdrawal rates than those in courses that did not use” the texts. 19
